For this Career Workshop #3, I decided to share my appointment at the Weissman Center, more specifically, the internship program. It was an honor for me to have the opportunity to have Justine, a representative, to review my resume. I filled out an application form, and then I scheduled a 30-minute appointment. It was to my surprise that it started on time and ended exactly 30 minutes after. In those 30 minutes, I learned how to word my resume better and to have a proper format in my resume. For example, putting action words in front of my sentences to make it sound better. Another example is my + or ~ in front or behind to indicate “more than” and “about”. I also learned that it is fine if each description line extends beyond one line and consistency is the key.

In addition to learning how to have a good resume, I learned what type of internship I should expect or I could expect. I did not know that some companies would give me credits (school/ class credits or community service hours) if they do not pay me. I also did not know that most internship applications are as simple as sending in my resume, and then the rest should be good. That being said, I learned the values of a resume and that if I want to get a good first impression, all of what is on it should reflect who I am as an individual.

Afterward, I was very happy to receive emails from the Weissman Center regarding internships. The one that I am most excited about applying to is the Spring 2020 Marketing and Communication Internship with Spadet and the position as Marketing Associate Intern at The Burgess Group. Since I am majoring in marketing management, anything associated with marketing, I get really excited over. That being said, I cannot wait for the next years to come as I spearhead my first internship in college!
